“Purpose: starting with why ttm serves young people throughout michigan and parts of the midwest. With our longstanding commitment to and emphasis on reconciliation, we are unique both in our service area and through out the united states. A former ceo of the american camp association, says this of tall turf's exception diversity, "camp tall turf is one of a handful of camps in our country providing leadership and setting an example of both the possibility and benefits of diverse and inclusive camp community for all children and young people." this sort of leadership is needed because we live in a broken world. In america, that brokenness often manifests itself along racial and ethnic lines. Ttm believes that in order for us to make progress towards god's vision of wholeness and unity, we need to first be reconciled. This effort of reconciliation is a wonderful gift of god. (2 cor. 5:16-18) though not exclusive, ttm's primary emphasis is to serve younth aged 14-17 through numerous camp experiences and ttm's year round programs. Teens are challenged to take intentional, healthy steps forward in the journey of reconciliation. Whether at summer camp, local schools, churches or neighborhoods, ttm's programs are designed to instill christ-centered servant leadership in the area of reconciliation. Ttm believes molding and shaping teens to be servant leaders today results in stronger leaders for tomorrow. From churches, businesses, organizations, neighborhoods and beyond, ttm's alumni can be found leading in many areas. The stakes are certainly high as the complexities of misguided reconciliation continue today. But through ttm, there is a fresh, ongoing discovery of christ-centered reconcilitation that is taking place daily in the hearts and lives of teenagers. The result: each young person is being better molded and shaped according to his plan and purpose.”
